When is Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant?

Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant will face each other in a super-middleweight title unification fight on November 6, 2021, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The bout was initially supposed to take place in September but was later shifted to November due to complications.

American fans can expect Canelo and Plant to walk out into the ring sometime around midnight on Saturday, November 6. Fans in the UK can expect the headliner to kick off at around 5 AM on Sunday, November 7.

Canelo Alvarez is undoubtedly one of the greatest boxers of the modern era. Over the years, he's fought some of the greatest pugilists across various weight classes. Alvarez has lost just once in his 16-year-long professional career. The lone loss came against the legendary Floyd Mayweather, arguably the greatest boxer of all time.

Alvarez's upcoming opponent Caleb Plant is currently undefeated in pro-boxing. While his 21-0 record is impressive, Plant has certainly never fought an elite boxer like Canelo Alvarez before. This is set to be the biggest fight of his career. If he manages to beat the Mexican, Plant will become one of the most popular names in the world of boxing overnight.
